Hard to know with just that detail. 1) What's the output of `fink list -t evince` ? You should have `2.22.2-8` available, which is the evince revision that no longer needs texlive. 2) If the above is good, make sure you're only trying to install evince to minimize what needs to be installed (don't use `fink update-all`). There's always the chance that some thing else in the evince dependency tree is itself trying to install texlive. 3) Pick (1) when asked to about texlive variants, and then Fink will finish running through the dependency check and print out all the secondary packages that need to be built and installed. You can kill the build (ctrl-c) before anything actually gets installed and post the list here. That will help in tracking down who wants texlive.
